Hip Arthritis? Try These Hip Strengthening Exercises

[@robertpepper5256]

I love Matt Tsu’s advice and direction sooooo much. I am a 64 male with hip arthritis diagnosis and over the last 16 months have self healed using this channel as a blueprint for recovery. ATM!

[@billiejeanbaccus159]

It hurts so bad.🥹🥹

[@jmc8076]

@@billiejeanbaccus159 It does hurt but moving helps. Trust. Start slow and be kind to and listen to your body. Discomfort is OK but pain = stop. Pain isn’t bad just a sensation our body uses to talk to us. Note how many reps created actual pain. Take a day or two and try again at 1-2 reps below what caused pain. Use heat, ice etc (whatever works for you) after each set of exercises. Also try micro doses of them by 1-2 exercises during day - waiting for microwave or stove, talking on phone, brushing teeth etc. Bal with ones to loosen and relax hips and pelvic floor muscles - start slow again and listen to your body. Just search YT incl Feldenkrais by Taro. Doing something consistently is better then nothing - within YOUR pain threshold. A few visits for in person assessment w/a physical therapist can help. Google your area and read staff bios or call for their experience w/ YOUR situation. It sounds cliche but relaxing incl meditation etc esp at night and when stressed helps (or laughing even crying). Anxiety/anger triggers cortisol that can incr inflammation. Not bad but whole other topic for you to google. Our mind is very powerful. Hope any of this helps. There is light. FWIW I’ve had chronic pain incl OA for ~25 yrs. It’s taught me a lot. Namaste PS: Never compare. Focus on your body and path.

[@reggiesanders1284]

I agree. I had no idea what was going on with this injury - couldn’t find it! I am (67) and still playing competitive basketball, tennis and also cycling. I’m not a drug-store solution dude. Yes, lots of these injuries happen due to age. But, it happens due to stopping!!! Keep going folks, just stretch and workout more consistently. For cyclists, our sport is a body tightening machine. You must stretch before, during and after - especially on off days. MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS PLEASE!

wow.I am a 77 year old ex-dancer with a PhD. in Dance Education! I am also scheduled for either a cortisone shot or a hip replacement. NONE of my doctors recommended strengthening exercises. And I did not think for myself. I am so grateful. I know these exercises, of course, in fact, I spent 3 years in Paris doing the CANCAN! But I panicked because of the actual pain. I so appreciate your tough-talking encouragement. Just what I needed. A literal kick in the butt.

Thank you for the great exercise. I am still young and the doctor advise to have a hip replacement after having an MRI. I had physiotherapy, which did not help but none of these exercises were prescribed .... The pain only started a few months ago with not having any pain before, which is weird to me. And, I have always done sport, ballet dancing, swimming, thai chi ... and never had any injuries nor pain in my hip.. So their prognostic makes no sense to me ...

[@cinnamongirl3070]

I work in physical therapy with the geriatric population. I explain to people every day that I will not be able to help the joint itself, but I can strengthen all the muscles around the joint for added stability, increased mobility, and way less pain. Sadly, the majority of people do not want to put in the effort and opt for some form of surgery. Then I see them again in a few months, still in pain (or worse pain), and we go back to square one. The body is amazing and can heal itself from just about anything if given the correct tools.

[@Tatillana]

Thank you! I just received a shot of hydrocortisone into my hip joint and am using my pain time-out exactly for strengthening the muscle around it. Yours is a very professional advice!

But I forgot to say I don't have muscle ?? In my bottom. Saggy soft!! So will I do these to help them to muscle up?.

[@Dragonfly-spirit]

Hello everyone. It's a little trickier than just strengthening. I have watched, followed and did every exercise that Matt recommends for the past 5 years. First, it has helped me become much more flexible as I started with a completely locked left hip. I'm still not able to go for long walks without suffering for a day or 2 afterwards. It's not just your hips when your whole body has been misaligned for many years. When my hips loosen up, then it's my neck and shoulder that hurts. I still do these exercises, but I have started also doing Pete Egoscue's , Pain Free (new edition) book movements. You must relax the tight muscles to get your body back into full alignment. It's working along with the strengthening. I'm 71 and have avoided ship replacement for 6 years.

[@lisag18]

Me, too. My hip and back will be fine then neck and shoulders start up. I think it's because of the shoulders tensing up to compensate for the pain the hip and back are causing

[@Uprighthealth]

It's ALL connected!

[@mariecarton8611]

Get a soft neck brace from Chemist and wear it after walks. Build up time you use it grafually. After use do some gentle movements to relax shoulders. Gently massage opposite hip and leg with no paim. This will ballance the electrics in your nerves.

[@naniinouye2222]

Hi Matt! I’ve been living with chronic pain since early 2001. I’ve tried injections in my spine and have been on numerous medications. The fact is, these treatments amount to placing a band aide on an severe deep cut. In other words, not efficient enough to truly help. I’ve had physical therapy, but therapists can’t do anything after you go home. I appreciate your approach to pain. Treating the entire body to pain relief that can be attained. You are very knowledgeable for being so young. You seriously look like my son…lol. Most times, I feel that youth is wasted on the young. Not true for you! You are helping my body get fit and giving me an active life again. I feel reborn! Thank you son for posting these videos! You’re very fun to watch and I even forget I’m working out! Hugs to you, your wife and your kids!🌺🙏🤟🌈💪✌👏

[@Uprighthealth]

Wow thanks! ☺ It's a shame so many physical therapists' job is to try to "fix" you in a 15-30 minute billable time block and send you home with a printout. There's almost no chance of progress! You might like my article on RIIPS: www.uprighthealth.com/blog/riips

OMG! I love this video. I was diagnosed with OA in the hip but am told the pain I describe does not coincide with the degree of damage in the joint. PT did not help me...they were way to aggressive and hurt, setting me back even more. I have since determined that I have three things going on with the whole joint (bursitis and tendonitis/ligamentitis included) and am putting together an arthritis management program to help. The range of motion limitation is my current issue to resolve. Your video explained more about what I can do for my issues than I got from anyone else in the healthcare world. I am going to continue stretching...I have problems straightening that joint, but I am definitely going to add these exercises to my workout regimen, perhaps alternating with walking on off days to help me keep moving. Thank you so much for this video. I am subscribing and will be checking out your website.

I want to take it slow and get stronger! You make me feel like Its possible, and I can do it.

[@your3kidding]

It's absolutely possible to get stronger at 69 (my age also). I had 4 sessions with a PT, who gave me a handful of exercises to do while lying down! Yes, the progress is slow but I stay safe and comfortable while continuing "working out" on my own. The therapy sessions were a year ago and I'm now walking without a cane or a limp; starting to practice small jumps.

[@cwr2375]

So glad I found this video. I had been having hip pain for about 4 months. The main cause was violently, improperly rotating my hips open when my golf swing went wrong for a couple months. Secondarily, my pilates class encouraged overstretching hip flexors with your knee on the pilates reformer (sled). I knew if I went to an orthopedist, he'd probably find arthritis (I'm 61) and blame my problem on that, despite the fact that arthritis is long-term degradation and my symptoms came on in a hurry. I tried a bunch of stretches and they didn't help, and sometimes hurt. One day I just decided to rest a dumbell on my thigh and lift my knee (much like the first exercise in this video). I told the orthopedist that it was the one thing that seemed to make things better. His response was that he would expect that to make things worse, not better, and as expected, he blamed arthritis. Lo and behold, i find this video and it recommends exactly that exercise, along with two others that also seem like they will help. I am so glad to learn from this video that there may be a muscle / training way to fix this problem. Thanks for posting it.

[@whomeverwherever]

Yes please-early 40’s here and left hip pain is just getting ridiculous. Special request for a video that gets right to the exercises with minimal talk/time before & in between. Maybe just a, “do this x times a week with a break or every day, etc.” Pain and frustration have a way of compounding the short attention span, if ya get what I mean! Many thanks!

[@EricVolkers]

Very informative video. I was diagnosed with severe bilateral hip arthritis and was recommended a hip replacement. I refused to go that route and asked for cortisone shots and physical therapy. After a month of doing the exercises daily my hip pain has decreased tremendously and on most days pain free. I am feeling stronger and flexibility improving every week. Videos like this has helped me so much. Again, Great video!

[@shesaidsomething1]

Congratulations on feeling better. I have degenerative hip osteoarthritis (worse in the left hip). I have gone through substantial muscle weakening, and I started back in the gym over the summer for increased cardiovascular fitness and range of motion exercise (inclined treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, and bicycle) in addition to outside bicycling and paddle boarding to offset my decreased hiking ability. I also started weights targeting my hip adductors/abductors/flexors/extensors. They are incredibly weak, and I max out at 30-50 pounds (might not be weak for some, but this is weak for me). I am getting ready for surgery because my pain has increased, I am unable to walk pain-free without a cane, and my quality of life has diminished. I say all this because strength training might not be enough. It is not for me. I will keep strengthening my muscles in preparation for surgery to live my best active life. Good luck!

Today, November 30, 2023 I accidentally saw your hip exercises while seeking Pilates for seniors among other workouts. It caught my attention because of hip bone on bone I've only recently discovered I have. My intention is alternatives to hip replacement surgery since the right hip was replaced ten years ago. It is good (right hip)no problems. I am a 78 year old female; ten years older than first surgery. Fortunately, I regularly work out. I believe truly with the video I'll be able to follow directions to strengthen my muscles to a place where hip surgery becomes a remote possibility. Although, those exercises are included in my daily routine my thoughts are more is needed. Thank you MATT

Matt, thank you for your hard work in uploading these videos. I am 69 with a one year history of a painful right hip. It seemingly started after I started doing hip stretching exercises after being told by a trainer I had poor flexibility in my hips and lower extremities. Never had any bad nor hip pains before. I could have overdone the stretching exercises causing some injury by pushing on with the stretching despite warning pain symptoms. Finally was diagnosed with osteoarthritis by an orthopedic surgeon with x ray showing joint space narrowing and acetabular spurring. No bone on bone yet. After viewing a multitude of videos, I am getting to believe that muscle strengthening is the key. So I have become hooked to your videos, and am very interested in your follow along videos.

My yoga teacher likes to inform us about anatomy and was talking about hamstrings the other day which led me to do a little research and concluding my Biceps Femoris needs attention (as I sometimes feel heat and pain just to the left of my left knee). Looking for Biceps Femoris stretches led me to you. I've now watched the video above and am excited to have you confirm what I am experiencing ... improvement with attention to muscles.

Thanks Matt not just for the exercises, which have helped but also validating that this is a real thing even though 2 drs and a pt, looked at me and treated me as if at my age I should just be glad I'm walking at all

[@lanctermann7261]

Matt's style is great for giving his audience belief in the power of healing and improvement of strength and health, as well as the knowledge of how to attain real results.

I want a follow along video please. Thanks so much. Really like your exercises.

[@emmecee8063]

Your video on hip arthritis was extremely helpful!!!! I just heard the same directive alot of people have heard about doctor prescribed hip surgery. I did have a cortisone injection today, but only conceded to do that to alleviate the pain temporarily enough to do my own at-home PT exercises. Thanks for your exercise suggestions! Please provided a follow-up video. Here's to us all feeing better!! THANKS!!!!

[@MariaOlaleye-jg9qy]

You are a wonderful instructor with encouraging words. Thank you.

[@lorettataylor635]

Yes I would love follow up videos for hips. I've been diagnosed with both hips and lower back osteoporosis. Love your videos. They really seem to help.

[@noorslight1]

This is so helpful. I appreciate you and the sharing expertise you bring. I’d like a free video too.

[@vicentegarcia6958]

Thank you. I just found your channel while searching for hip exercises to do before my surgery🤦🏻‍♀️ I am scheduled for a hip replacement in a month. I wish I found you sooner. Now not sure what to do. Well what I will do is these exercises for the next month and if My hip is better I can cancel the surgery😬 I do not care if they get mad!!

Would love to have the follow along video! Not only do you make a lot of sense, but you make me laugh. Thank you so much for sharing all of it! You are so needed and appreciated!

[@mataform]

Hi. Would love the follow on video . Had hip replacements for both hips and it’s not been great . I had a damage to glutes on both sides before the operation. I think your video so far has been great so thank you. Got desperate thinking I can never get theses hips better and I am a horse rider . Only ridden once and omg my hips nearly killed me after. But I am determined to get better. Horses are my joy.

[@cindywatson4626]

[@moria9203]

Thanks for your offering. I am interested in your follow-along video. Thanks for helping us to be healthy

[@chrischili3170]

I also would like follow up video. Thks for these simple easy exercises.

[@TJ-kz1ul]

Thank you for this information and for these exercises!! I am 47, in very good shape but I live with chronic pain in my hips/lower back. I have spent so much time going to drs, chiropractors, physiotherapists etc to try to get some help but nothing has done so. These exercises are a lifesaver! This plus walking for about 1 hr a day, and gentle weight bearing yoga poses are about all I can do to keep the pain under control. Every time I try to do something else I seem to end up hurting my hips even more.

[@lisawentworth6553]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I did the exercises along with you and I would love to have a copy of the video. I'm going to search through your channel for more exercises for other parts of my body too. Thank you so much!

[@smoothjazzwomanpm]

Please add follow along video. The above exercises address my current hip pain. The information of why there is pain and what works is invaluable. Thank you!

[@deborahking674]

I am so grateful for this presentation, yes please provide a follow up video

[@gaylewatson818]

Appreciate your approach - ATM - I had a knee replaced years ago. I worked out fine but I am keen to avoid another surgery. Hip pain has also arrived ( now 73 yrs old) and will try these exercises to allow me to remain active. Cheers for the instruction.

[@Sherlock6050]

Great instruction!!! Thank you! I would really appreciate a follow along video.

[@suejohnson6254]

I would love a follow up free video. I think you are the best physical therapist i follow and i have both hip arthritis and a hip labral tear. I am 73 and also get sciatica from my compressed lower lumbar. You have helped me a lot as has my own PT. I have learned that i have less problems and pain if i walk and do my stretching and/or strengthening daily, sitting is the ENEMY.😂

[@MaurLaw4392]

Yes, please make a follow-up video pretty, please. Thank you for making this video.

[@roblyncastiglionewierzbick3429]
